How to use this tool

4 steps · ~1 minute

Each step is a single action — no setup, no sign-up. Outputs are client-side; nothing is uploaded.

Step 01

Enter your sub mix

Per-tier counts for T1 / T2 / T3 / Prime / gifted T1. Prime + gifted T1 pay the same as a paid T1 to the streamer.

Step 02

Add bits and tips

Bits at $0.01 each. Direct tips at face value (no platform cut on bypass-tip rails like Streamlabs).

Step 03

Pick audience region

Region sets the ad CPM band. US is highest; LATAM/SEA are lowest.

Step 04

Read the comparison

The result shows the higher of Twitch (your effective tier) vs Kick. Use the period toggle to flip monthly/annual.

FAQ · methodology & caveats

Frequently asked.

Calculator outputs are estimates. Each Q below names the source data and the assumptions baked in.

Which Twitch split applies to me?

Standard Affiliate is 50/50 ($2.50/T1). The Plus Program retroactively pays 60/40 when you exceed 100 Plus Points in a month, or 70/30 (matching legacy Partner) above 300 PP. Plus Points are calculated T1×1 + T2×2 + T3×6 (Prime + gifted T1 each count as 1 PP). The calculator picks the highest split your input mix clears.

How does the Kick 95/5 split work?

Kick pays creators 95% of the gross sub price. A $4.99 T1 sub nets the creator $4.74. T2 ($9.99) = $9.49. T3 ($24.99) = $23.74. Kick has no ad-revenue path (yet), so the ad column shows n/a in Kick mode — for ad-heavy streamers Twitch still wins despite the worse sub split.

What CPM should I assume for ads?

Pick the region your audience is in. US is the highest at $4–6 effective CPM (mid $5). EU is $2–4. LATAM and SEA are $0.50–1.50 and $1–3 respectively. If your audience is mixed, "Other" gives a $2–4 band — directionally accurate for global mixes.

How are mid-roll ads converted to impressions?

In the v1 page (impressions mode + mid-roll mode), mid-rolls × CCV × hours/month yields total ad impressions. This v2 page uses the impressions input directly to keep the surface area small — for the mid-roll model, use the full v1 page.

Why does the result show a range instead of one number?

Ad revenue is the largest source of variance. CPM bands span 1.5–2× from low to high. The calculator shows the mid-CPM headline plus low/high bands for each Twitch tier so you can plan against a realistic spread.

Does this account for taxes?

No — these are gross creator-side numbers before income tax / self-employment tax / VAT. For US streamers a 15.3% self-employment-tax cut applies on top of federal/state. Use the Streamer Tax Estimator for after-tax take-home.
